When Emma Watson‘s Belle doll for Beauty and the Beast first hit shelves, fans were confused because it really didn’t look like her at all.
Some people even said it looked more like Justin Bieber!
But now, an artist named Noel Cruz repainted her face and shared his creation on Facebook. Check it out below!
“A Tale of Two Belle’s (before and after) custom repaint of Disney Store Emma Watson Belle doll..just a few more touches to the hair left,” he wrote. “Thank you for all your comments regarding the disproportion of the body. I will try to find a more suitable body. Wish me luck!”
Beauty & The Beast unveiled an amazing new poster and you won’t believe the details!
The huge new poster highlights Emma Watson‘s Belle and the Beast in the center, surrounded by other characters from the highly anticipated flick.
The left side of the poster features characters from Belle’s village including her father Maurice, played by Kevin Kline, her suitor Gaston, played by Luke Evans, and Gaston’s sidekick Le Fou, played by Josh Gad.
The 26-year-old actress opened up about relating to Belle, auditioning for the part and collaborating on the script. Check it:
On auditioning for the role: “It gave me a sense of ownership. I would have hated to have felt I got the part undeservedly. I had to prove I had the voice to do it.”
On why she related to her character Belle: “I just felt the character of Belle resonated with me so much more than Cinderella did. I don’t feel like I really felt like I particularly fit in when I was younger. There’s this kind of outsider quality that Belle had and the fact she had this really empowering defiance of what was expected of her. In a strange way, she challenges the status quo of the place she lives in, and I found that really inspiring too. And also, she manages to keep her integrity and have a completely independent point of view. She’s not easily swayed by other people’s perspective; not swayed by fear mongering or scapegoating.”
On working on the script with director Bill Condon: “I think Bill knew I had concerns about the script, and there were things that I needed to see. It was very collaborative.”
The 23-year-old entertainer shared a selfie on Instagram where she used a wilted rose emoji in the caption and tagged John and Beauty and the Beast in the post.
If you weren’t excited to see the upcoming live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, this clip of Emma Watson singing the song “Belle (Reprise)” will get you there!
The new television spot aired during the 2017 Golden Globes and features a lot of footage from the film, all while Emma belts out the movie’s opening number.
We previously got our first listen to Emma‘s voice in a clip from “Something There” after the Belle doll featuring the song was released last week.
